Hollowtown SUNDAY. School Celebration
On the 18th inst. there was a very
large crowd assembled in CIV. Martini 9
grove to have an old.fashioned celebra-
ton.
G. w. Martin was selected as Presi-
dent of the meeting. Excellent music
was furnished by the Buford band. The
next thing in order was singing by the
Hollowtown school, led by Mr.. Roush.
Then, under the leadership of Mr.. Lewis
Pence, the Danville school made some
sweet and melodious sounds, after which
the veteran Sunday.school worker, Frank
Foust, of Pricetown, showed what his
school could do in uttering sounds with
musical infections. Next in order was
a speech by A. D. Virgins, of Hillsboro,
which was followed by dinner.
After dinner the band favored the au-
dience with some choice music. Then
Prof. Yocum evinced to all by the singing
of his school from Strausburg that they
were equal to the best. The school from
Taylorsville, under the direction of Prof.
Carr, showed that they could sing sweet
ly. The crowd was elated over duet
sung by the Misses Fouch. Speeches
were made by the following gentlemen
in the order named: Elder Houston, ol
Georgetown; Rev. Briggs, of sugartree
Ridge Elder Knowles, Of Wilmington.
The Buford and Flat Run schools cred.
itably sustained their reputation as good
singers.
This was one Of the grandest and most
successful celebrations ever held here,
and everything looks suspicious for the
future of this great yearly commemora'
ton of the Sunday school workers.

ONLY A GENERATION.

1t was a little sheet of dingy looking
paper with which the light summer
breeze was cOquetting. An old house
was being torn down on Summit to give
room for another palatial mansion on
the avenue. This little bit of paper had
been hid away for years in some crevce
about the old building. And when the
house was torn down it went out an
aimleSS, wandering waif to be tossed
about at the sport of every passing
wind. 1t was a printed sheet, and had
the appearance of corner torn off some
old newspaper. OF the hundreds who
passed that way no one paid any atten-
ton to it until the eye of newspaper
man lighted upon it. With that instinct
i've keenness of sight which belongs to
people Of his profession, he detected
something unusual about the breeze
beaten waif, and he picked it up to find
that it was relic of value. 1t was copy
of an SX10 missionary monthly journal
published by the Dakota mission in
1851, and printed in both the English
and Dakota languages. 1t bore the
name of q. II. POND as editor, and was
numbered Volume 1, Number II. The
principal news item was an account of
the signing of the treaty at Mendoza
few weeks before by which the MdeWa-
kanton and Warpekute bands of
Dakota Indians coded to the United
States all their lands in Minnesota and
Iowa. The treaty was signed by about
sixty of the Indian chiefs who stepped
up and made their marks, being led off
by Crow, who was the first to sign and
the only Indian to write his own name.
BY this and another treaty which had
been previously concluded with two
other divisions of the Dakota tribe,
about 30000,000 acres of lands had been
added to the possessions of the United
States and most of it in Minnesota.
The story which this little pioneer jour
nal tells is of vast area of rich country

INTERURBAN NAVIGATION.

Now that we are 10 have an actual
survey made the coming summer be-
tween Minneapolis and ST. Paul, look
ing to permanent Improvement of the
river by the general government, there
by giving Minneapolis an outlet for all
the manufactured products she may
wish to ship southwark, and an inlet to
everything she may wish To import by
river from New Orleans and other ports
nOrthward, and, as we may expect in
the near future the same advantages
now enjoyed by our sister city, st. Paul,
in utilizing this great highway-the
noble MiSSissippi-it beh0oves us to use
every honorable means to further the
great work OF Improvement, and with
"a long pull, a strong pull, and pull
together" the work will be compare
lively light one, and all will be graft
fled at the result accomplished. No one
will doubt of the immense benefit that
will follow the successful establishing
of navigation to Minneapolis. Steamers
will be placed in the trade to st. Louis
and other ports, and arrivals and de
partureS will be as regular as they are
now to and from st. Paul from ports be-
low, giving our merchants and manu-
facturerS opportunities of shipping and
receiving by river during the season of
navigation. Witness the important and
growing trade St. Paul has built up and
fostered by her patronage, notwith-
standing she has railroad lines Oh both
sides of the river as competitors, yet
during the season of navigation what an
immense aggregate i'll freight and pas
SengerS has been poured into her lap,
and all she may have to ship has been
accommodated to her great advantage.
Surely. with our great and increasing
manufacturing interests we ought to be
able to sustain lines of steamboats,, Civ
ing them all the encouragement posi-
bic to come to us with cargOeS from the
South and, in return, take from us our
products of -four. lumber, machinery,
agricultural implements and a great
mass of other manufactured articles, the
ever accommodating products of manu-
featuring city. Hence the necessity of
a navigable river to our beautiful city
is imperative. 1t should have been
many years ago: was had during the
season of 1857, when several thousands
of tons of merchandise was delivered at
our landings, and that, too, on natural
river, almost without any Improvement,
as many of our early citizens now living
can fully testify to. Let us again. then,
give some of our attention to the inter
eStS of the river-the natural artery of
commerce, placing Minneapolis where
she should be, 1.-The head of navigation"
on the 'Father of Waters" "a sea port,
although 1900 miles from the sea-, add
ing many thousands to her population
yearly by her river communication with
the outside world, enhancing the value
of her property interests to an unlimited
extent by the prestige of her position
and redounding to her many advantages
whose value is beyond computation.

4 Woman Secures Her Lovers
Release After Long Imprison-
ment.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 7.-Eigh-
teen years ago the doors of the state
prison closed upon Frank Riddle, of
Maurice Countrywide had been sentenced
to life imprisonment for numbering a
German peddler. There were doubts
as to the guilt of Riddle. One after
another of the life convictS died and
Riddle almost abandoned hope Of OBJ
tanning his freedom. While Gov. Tay-
lOr was seated in his office Yesterday a
woman walked into the apartment and
presented to the governor a petition for
executive clemency, signed by the les
sees and every officer of the prison, who
stated that Riddles long incarceration
had served the ends of justice. Accom-
panying the petition was letter writ
ten by the woman who bore it. After
the governor had read the documents
the lady rose and, addressing him. said:
Gov. Taylor, when that man was ac-
cused of murder | was engaged to be
married to him. | did not believe him
guilty and did not break the engage
ment. During the two or three years
that the trial was pending l still be-
lieved in him. During the eighteen
years of his confinement | have stuck
to him. His parents have died. His
brothers and sisters are all dead. except
a sister who lives out West. The people
who were interested in the case then
had forgotten him. | am the only friend
in the world. My life has been wrapped
up in him. | believed in him and loved
him through all these long weary years,
and want you to pardon him. do not
ask you to think him an innocent man,
but for the sake of two lives that may
yet be happy, | implOre you to set him
free"
Without waiting to hear the gov
ernor'S decision she arose and left the
Office and the capitol. When the gov
ernOr had cleared his eyes of tears, he
said to Bishop Cranberry:
''Such devotion and consistency have
never seen, and whatever Riddle may
have deserved it does look as if that
woman ought to have chance at happi-
ness. The prisoner will be pardoned."
